☞ This device is designed to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of people for diagnosis.

PRECAUTIONS

Precision components are used in the construction of this device. Extremes in temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, shock or dust should be avoided.

Clean the device and cuff with a dry, soft cloth or a cloth dampened with water and a neutral detergent. Never use alcohol, benzene, thinner or other harsh chemicals to clean the device or cuff.

Avoid tightly folding the cuff or storing the hose tightly twisted for long periods, as such treatment may shorten the life of the components.

The device and cuff are not water resistant. Prevent rain, sweat and water from soiling the device and cuff.

Measurements may be distorted if the device is used close to televisions, microwave ovens, cellular telephones, X-ray or other devices with strong electrical fields.

When reusing the device, confirm that the device is clean.

Used equipment, parts and batteries are not treated as ordinary household waste, and must be disposed of according to the applicable local regulations.

Do not modify the device. It may cause accidents or damage to the device.

To measure blood pressure, the arm must be squeezed by the cuff hard enough to temporarily stop blood flow through the artery. This may cause pain, numbness or a temporary red mark to the arm. This condition will appear especially when measurement is repeated successively. Any pain, numbness, or red marks will disappear with time.

People who have a severe circulatory deficit in the arm must consult a doctor before using the device, to avoid medical problems.

Do not self-diagnose the measurement results and start treatment by yourself. Always consult your doctor for evaluation of the results and treatment.

Do not apply cuff on an arm with other medical equipment attached. Neither equipment may function properly.

Do not apply the cuff on an arm with an unhealed wound.

Do not apply the cuff on an arm receiving an intravenous drip or blood transfusion. It may cause injury or accidents.

Do not use the device where flammable gases such as anesthetic gases are present. It may cause an explosion.

Do not use the device in highly concentrated oxygen environments, such as a high-pressure oxygen chamber or an oxygen tent. It may cause a fire or explosion.

Do not excessively bend or squeeze the air hose.

DISPLAY SYMBOLS

Symbols that appear on the display:

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE

What Is Blood Pressure?Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the walls of the arteries.Systolic pressure occurs when the heart contracts. Diastolic pressure occurswhen the heart expands. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury(mmHg).

INSTALLING BATTERIES

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Remove the used batteries from the battery compartment in case of changing them.

3. Insert new batteries into the battery compartment as shown, taking care that the polarities (+) and (-) are correct.

4. Replace the battery cover. Use only R6P, LR6 or AA batteries.

CAUTION

Insert the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. If installed incorrectly, the device will not work.

When (LOW BATTERY mark) blinks on the display and the device announces that the battery needs to be replaced, replace all batteries with new ones. Do not mix old and new batteries. It may shorten the battery life, or cause the device to malfunction.

Replace the batteries two seconds or more after the device turns off.

If (LOW BATTERY mark) does not appear then the batteries are drained.

The battery life varies with the ambient temperature and may be shorter at low temperatures.

Remove the batteries if the device is not to be used for a long time. The batteries may leak and cause a malfunction.

Index Point: Cuff fit range indicator (printed on the cuff)

CUFF SYMBOL IDENTIFICATION

Symbols printed on the cuff:

APPLYING THE ARM CUFF

1. Wrap the cuff around the upper arm, about 1 to 2 cm above the inside of the elbow, as shown.

Place the cuff directly against the skin, as clothing may cause a faint pulse and result in a measurement error.

2. Constriction of the upper arm, caused by rolling up a shirtsleeve, may prevent accurate readings.

3. Confirm that the index points within the proper fit range.

HOW TO TAKE ACCURATE MEASUREMENTS

For the most accurate blood pressure measurement:

Sit comfortably on a chair. Rest your arm on the table. Do not cross your legs. Keep your feet on the floor and straighten your back.

Relax for several minutes before measurement.

Place the center of the cuff at the same level as your heart.

Remain still and keep quiet during measurement.

Do not measure immediately after physical exercise or a bath. Rest for twenty or thirty minutes before taking the measurement.

Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time every day.

DURING MEASUREMENT

During measurement, it is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. (Do not be alarmed).

AFTER MEASUREMENT

After measurement, press the START button to turn the device off. After one minute of non-operation, the device will turn off automatically.

Remove the cuff and record your data.

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

Model UA-651CN is designed to detect the pulse and to inflate the cuff to a systolic pressure level automatically.

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, read “Measurement With The Desired Systolic Pressure” below.

Normal Measurement

1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm). Sit quietly during measurement.

2. Press the button. All of the display segments are displayed. Zero is displayed blinking briefly.

Then the display changes, as indicated in the figure at the right, as the measurement begins. The cuff starts to inflate. It is normal for the cuff to feel very tight. A pressure bar indicator is displayed, as in the figure at the right, during inflation.

Note: If you wish to stop inflation at any time, press

the button again.

3. When inflation is complete, deflation starts automatically and the (heart mark) blinks, indicating that the measurement is in progress. Once the pulse is detected, the mark blinks with each pulse beat.

Note: If an appropriate pressure is not obtained, the device starts to inflate again automatically.

4. When the measurement is complete, the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and pulse rate are displayed. The cuff exhausts the remaining air and deflates completely.

5. Press the button again to turn off the power.

Note: Model UA-651CN is provided with an automatic power shut-off function.

M

Measurement with the Desired Systolic Pressure

If your systolic pressure is expected to exceed 230 mmHg, use this procedure.

1. Place the cuff on the arm (preferably the left arm).

2. Press the button.

3. During the zero blinks, press and hold the button until a number about 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure appears.

4. When the desired number is reached, release

the button to start measurement. Then continue to measure your blood pressure as described on the previous page.

TIPS FOR TAKING READINGS

Sit down in a comfortable position. Place the arm to be used for the measurement on a table or other support so that the center of the cuff will be at the same height as your heart.

Relax before taking a measurement. If you are excited or depressed by emotional stress, the measurement will reflect this stress as a higher (or lower) than normal blood pressure reading and the pulse reading will usually be faster than normal.

An individual’s blood pressure varies constantly, depending on what you are doing and what you have eaten. What you drink can have a very strong and rapid effect on your blood pressure.

This device bases its measurements on the heartbeat. If you have a very weak or irregular heartbeat, the device may have difficulty determining your blood pressure.

Should the device detect a condition that is abnormal, it will stop the measurement and display an error symbol. Refer to the section titled Display Symbols for the description of the symbols.

This device is intended for use by adults only. Consult with your physician before using this device on a child. A child should not use this device unattended.

RECALLING THE MEMORY

The device automatically stores up to fifteen blood pressure and pulse measurements in memory. Data stored in memory are assigned a data number in the order of the newest to the oldest. The oldest data displays as “ “. The M symbol in the upper left corner of the display indicates that you are viewing previous data stored in memory.

1. When nothing is displayed, press and hold

the button to recall the stored data.

2. Release the button when displaying the average data.

3. The data number and stored data are automatically displayed in order from the last measurement.

4. The display will turn off automatically after all data is displayed.

Note: If you press the button while recalling data, the device turns off.

DELETING THE MEMORY

1. When turning off the device, press and hold

the button until the “ “ is displayed.

2. Select “ “ to clear data.

3. Data is cleared when the mark blinks.

4. The device turns off automatically.
